Hampton Hill (initially known as 'New Hampton') is a place in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames to the west of Twickenham, bounded by Fulwell and Twickenham Golf Course to the northwest; the road bridge over the railway line;〔At Wellington Road, TW12 north of the Longford River 〕 a line southward just east of Wellington Road; Bushy Park to the southeast; and the artificial Longford River to the south and west.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=How we came up with the area covered by the Plan )〕 It is served by Fulwell railway station on the Shepperton to Waterloo line. ==History== For history prior to the late 19th century ''see Hampton, London''. Hampton Hill's urban development was railway-fuelled building in an area that was since the Middle Ages the north of Hampton ecclesiastical parish further away from the River Thames. Distinguished from Hampton on all street name signs, it is that part across the Charles I-commissioned Longford River, an artificial watercourse built to supply Hampton Court, which forms the boundary between Hampton Hill and Hampton. Its lack of development is reflected by the fact only seven of this complete list of listed buildings are buildings: *167 High Street〔167, High Street 〕 *127 Uxbridge Road〔127, Uxbridge Road 〕 *Templeton Lodge〔Templeton Lodge 〕 *Brick Boundary Walls to Bushy Park〔Brick Boundary Walls 〕 *Stables & Garden Wall to Upper Lodge〔Stables And Garden Wall To Upper Lodge 〕 *Church of St James〔Church Of St James 〕 *Monument At south-eastern end of General Roy's Survey Base 〔Monument At South-Eastern End Of General Roy's Survey Base 〕 *Upper Lodge 〔Upper Lodge 〕 *Old Brew House, Bushy Park〔Old Brew House also a Scheduled Ancient Monument〕 *Bushy Park – a Grade I listed park〔Bushy Park 〕 The oldest of the listed structures lie within the part of Bushy Park in the area; the Old Brew House may be late 17th century.〔 In the First World War, No 15 High Street was the drill hall of the 8th Battalion of the Middlesex Regiment. The regiment's insignia can still be seen in stone over the door.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Great War Centenary - Drill Halls )〕 Hampton Hill was bombed a number of times during the Blitz, the first major incident was in November 1940 when 63 Park Road was gutted when an abandoned Wellington bomber crashed on it. On the next night much of Alpha Road was destroyed and five people died after a Luftwaffe bomber dropped a landmine on it. Subsequently Hampton Hill had a number of lucky escapes with bombs and incendiaries either failing to explode or landing in Bushy Park, Fulwell Golf Course, and other open land, with the next major incident being in June 1944 when a doodlebug exploded near Longford Close and killed one person. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hampton Hill」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
